Author Comment / Biography:Author of four books and two screenplays; frequent magazine contributor. I have four other books "in the can" if I could only find the flash drives. Retirement hasn't dampened my energy, but I am certainly a lot more blasé.

I wasn’t sure I should write this blurb; I mean the world ends December 21, doesn’t it? Hey, I got a flash: maybe ONLY Mayans are targeted for extinction. Why not? The Long Count Calendar belongs to them. We’ve superseded it with the Roman calendar.

For one reason or another, lately I've come across a lot of media concern/hype about bullying. I started to write an essay on the subject for Amazines, but got carried away (I tend to do that), and the essay morphed into a novel about what could happen when a hapless victim decides to retaliate agai...

As Thanksgiving approaches this year I’m battling a greasy, black funk of depression that threatens to consume my very soul. I sit in a dark corner with a mind-altering chemical (on the rocks), listening to “Faust”, and reflecting on my favorite holiday from years past. Once the day was idyllic; a w...

Yesterday I started thinking about Plato’s, “The Myth of the Cave”, where people who have never left the cave and never seen either daylight or fire, and onl...

Wilhelm Street is perhaps a half mile long dead-ending into Downs Street on the south and Williams Street on the north. Through my high school years I lived with my parents and brothers smack dab at the south corner across the street from Gerald “G.J.P.” Louy; the J.P. stood for justice of the peace...

You know, folks, I’ve been a little hard on the cadre that comprises the US electorate, especially the twenty-and-thirty-somethings. I’ve accused them of focusing on pop culture, of not doing their own thinking, of having a very narrow focus relative to their worldly environment; of taking their fre...

The first time I noticed a THIMK sign was decades ago posted on office walls of a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. The concept behind it was that everyone should put their gray matter to use when on the job to avoid unnecessary screw-ups and to minimize lost productivity. The irony of the misspell...
